I have a special review!

Espoir Dream is an indie doll eye and clothing company located in Indonesia. Each item is handmade by Monica. She creates stunning pieces for Dollfie Dream, BJD, Blythe and similar dolls. I have admired her work for some time, and I am very excited to review my custom items

I recently reached out to Dominique akaPikkochan regarding a dramatic look for my latest doll addition, Lilith. To transform a blank Obitsu girl into a drop dead gorgeous Gothic beauty would be no easy task! The need for a third eye, tattoo and, piercings did not make my request any easier. Thankfully, Pikkochan was willing to give this challenge a shot. I am so happy with the results!

A New Doll Has Arrived!

I recently cleaned out my closet of unwanted collectibles. To my astonishment, I was able to purchase my third Obitsu doll! After some careful consideration, I decided to shell one of my darker characters, Lilith. After I settled on the 45 cm size, I made my way online to complete my purchase!

**Warning: This blog post will contain artistic appreciation of the doll's form aka doll nudity.

If you like ball-jointed dolls, or even just my doll lolita fashion Hitomi, this blog post may be very helpful to you. In this post, I will discuss Obitsu dolls and how to make your doll uniquely your own!

Your doll questions, answered!

I have received quite a few inquiries about the doll that sits on my shelf in the background of my YouTube lolita videos. Am I delighted to receive such fun question in my email box! Some of your questions include:

Who is she?What type of doll is she?What is she made of?

I am happy to answer your questions in the form of a video and a blog post! Let us get started, shall we?

I recently purchased some Lolita pieces from Taobao, but not for myself. What's the catch? I ordered the items for my doll Hitomi! Since Hitomi is a Lolita herself, I am always on the lookout for new apparel items and accessories for her to wear!

All ordered items from Taobao outside of China require a shopping service. Each shopping service has different fees for this service. I did some research and, for my first direct Taobao order, I used the shopping service known as TaobaoRing. I read a lot of reviews that said the shopping fee was reasonable at 8% and the communication and shipping were favorable. I purchased the following items for this order:

My pretty little doll!

Hitomi is my lovely little doll sidekick. Naturally, since Hitomi is a Lolita herself, she and I have many common interests. Hitomi and I can usually be found browsing lolita brand websites, inventing creative stories, and creating crafts. It is obvious that Hitomi herself would have her own impressive lolita fashion wardrobe. Of course, I am just getting started building her lolita wardrobe.

There are a great many considerations when ordering a doll. One of these considerations is, of course, the doll's features. I adored the form of the doll I chose but faced some difficulty in features. I was unable to order a company face up since the Obitsu brand does not release completed features. I needed to find an artist to commission. Luckily I came across TheKawaiiPhoenix on Etsy!

Bambi Crony is a Ball-Jointed-Doll shop based out of Souel, Korea. I have heard great things about their products and decided to check them out. I had been in search of Tea Party and Rocking Horse style shoes that would fit my soon to arrive Obitsu. Bambi Crony had both styles in stock.
